Pennies
A few pennies make a big difference
Pennies is the leading charity working to protect and grow micro-donations for causes like Mend our Mountains all over the UK.
Pennies allows you to donate as little as one penny to BCM’s Mend our Mountains initiative at checkout, so you can do your bit without breaking the bank. Collectively, these small donations really do add up and help us make a difference, together.
Let’s do our bit to give back to the places we love. Because for us, the outdoors is everything.
Protecting the places we love to walk
Our partnership with Mend Our Mountains
Without action, the footpaths and trails we use to adventure, hike, walk and camp across the UK could be lost to erosion.
Which is why as a partner of the British Mountaineering Council, we’re very proud to support their Mend Our Mountains initiative to raise vital funds to protect and repair the paths, trails and bridleways that form the lifeblood of the Great British outdoors.
Together with local people and partners, the BMC’s Access and Conservation fund is working to defend our wild places and create a more accessible, connected outdoors.
To help, we’re making donating to this incredible cause easier than ever while shopping at Cotswold Outdoor. By working with micro-donation charity, Pennies, we’re offering the chance to donate as little as one penny at checkout. While this is a small donation on its own, together every penny really does count…
Why we’re supporting the Mend Our Mountains project
Path repair is a surprisingly costly process and working in remote locations adds to the challenge. Which is why working together to raise awareness and funds for this project is so important to protecting the landscapes we love.
- £150 could buy protective clothing for path repairers working outdoors in the elements
- £250 could fix one metre of footpath, keeping trails safe for use.
- £1000 could pay to fly one bag of stone to an inaccessible mountain location, protecting off-grid adventures
